Thematic Bible: Unsatisfying
Thematic Bible
Food » Of the worldly soul » Unsatisfying
“Why do you spend money for that which is not bread,
And your earnings for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And let your soul delight in
Riches » Described as » Unsatisfying
There was a certain man—without a dependent, having neither a child nor a brother, yet there was no end to all his labor. Indeed, his eyes were not satisfied with riches and he never asked, “For whom do I labor and deprive myself of pleasure?” This too is vanity (a wisp of smoke, self-conceit); yes, it is a painful effort and an unhappy task.
He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its gain. This too is vanity (emptiness).
